Yes, 100%. In-ground installations are generally considered construction projects and require a building permit for the pool as well as the safety barrier. All necessary permits and approvals must be obtained before starting the installation. These permits must comply with site-specific documentation, including geo-soil reports, engineering plans, and plumbing diagrams.
Are there specific requirements for pools installed near bushfire zones?
